First boa! First bite!

Uploading pictures of Cleopatra and my first bite, not necessarily in that order. And please try to ignore the mess of paper and other misc clutter on my storage tub. First the bite. Also, DUW





And now for the beautiful red tail boa named Cleopatra.



This one I thought was very cute, the way she's checking out the camera. I'm glad I caught her with her tongue out. Submitted it for Herp of the Month, hope she wins

Ya I would definitely recommend a boa to any ball owner. I recently got one and it's a whole new experience. One thing that was weird at first was the way a boa looks at you. A ball python seems to look through you and when you move your hand the ball just moves along with your hand. Boas look right at you. Plus when you move your hand, their head stayed locked on to whatever they were looking at. Also they seem to be trying to figure you out when they look into your eyes. And for some reason they are a pain to put back in their house. For something without arms or legs they can really put up a fight to stay out. Lol. Enjoy your boa man.

Thank you all for you advise and congratulations. Yes I have noticed that boas seem more intelligent that ball pythons. When my friend was holding her, for whatever reason she kept staring right at me even with him moving her etc, and stretching like she was trying to get to me. Yes I get her out twice a day at least and I don't care what anyone says, I don't know about handling so much as she seems to thoroughly enjoy being out of her tank. She flat out refused to go back. I have to sorta ball her up, set her inside and close the sliding screen top before she can climb out.

Thank you. These pictures don't do her justice at all. In person she has a very light amount of purple on her sides and her tail is actually red orange on the top and orange red on the sides. But that makes her look so much more beautiful in person

She sounds so beautiful! I can't wait for my guy to get bigger. He's such a squirt right now and I am so excited to see his pattern and colors develop. The differences between light and dark phases are drastic already.
